Technically no, this photographer is putting flowers under a blacklight and photographing them, resulting in a picture of basically what a human would see IRL in that scenario (aside from things like contrast/exposure variances, etc). It’s not really the same as what UV sensing animals would see. These photos are of regions of the flower converting UV light into human-visible visible light (via fluorescence, same thing as a blacklight poster). UV sensing animals are seeing actual ultraviolet being reflected by the flower as well as visible light, so it’s not the same thing.

StellarExtract@lemmy.zipto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Financially rewarding and you will always have a job3·9 days agoThat same house in my area costs at least 10 times that amount. I was lucky in that I had “only” $80,000 of debt from my bachelor’s, a housing situation via marriage, and a career path with solid pay (after going back for an associate’s while working in a low-paying job post-graduation for 7 years). I only finally paid off that debt 2 years ago and I graduated in 2008. I don’t know how a lot of people manage.
